permaculture

["Steve Diver" <steved@ncatark.uark.edu>]

The September-0ctober 1997 issue of Biodynamics Journal 
contained an address and description for Virbela FlowForms
in East Troy, Wisconsin.   I am posting updated information
received from the supplier, who by the way has changed their 
name from Virbela FlowForms Skylark, Inc. to FlowForms 
America.

Contact:  Sven Schunemann

Please note:
1. The phone number listed in the BD issue was the wrong
phone number.  The correct phone number is listed above.

2. The web site listed above has been registered, but the home page 
won't be on-line till next week or thereabouts. 

According to Sven Schunemann, FlowForms America supplies 
two types of flowforms, those designed by John Wilkes 
(Virbela model) and those designed by Iris Water. 

The following text was printed in the September-0ctober 1997 issue
of Biodynamic Journal.  

"Developed by English sculptor John Wilkes, Virbela FlowForms
are designed to allow the movements seen in nature as a whole
to be concentrated in specially proportioned vessels.  They are also
successfully used in the mixing of Bio-Dynamic preparations." 

I might add that in addition to mixing biodynamic preparations, 
flowforms are being used in permaculture as a final water treatment 
step in association with constructed wetlands, solar ponds, and 
residential and municipal sewage treatment.   Of course, they are also 
aesthetic as well as mysterious.
